Spontaneously generated coherence induced second-order susceptibility in atomic gases

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The second-order susceptibility which vanishes in the electric-dipole approximation for an atom is induced by the spontaneously generated coherence. The spontaneously generated coherence considered in a lambda-type atomic system causes an indirect coupling between the lower two levels which acts equivalently as a DC-field and therefore makes possible the existence of second-order susceptibility.
